>>77800179New mutants (or allegedly new mutants) who took up a lot of space in X-books used to have interesting stories and powers, like Xorn who had a star in his head that roasted away his brain and became the new vehicle for his thoughts and perceptions.

Now there's some comic relief fucker who shoots gold balls out of his body and takes up too many pages.

>>77800286I was assuming that Bendis was making Goldballs lame in order to make it really surprising when he eventually either becomes a supervillain or becomes a powerful and competent superhero or something.

Then I stopped reading because literally nothing happened in this series.

> That was actually a Magneto robot built by Factor 3> No that was the second time you died back in the 60's> After being possessed by Apocalypse > No that was me> How did I die this time?> Well after entering the school disguised as Xorn you shot Emma, got hopped up on drugs, destroyed New York, and then we beat you up and Wolverine cut off your head. Oh and you killed Jean Grey> She's dead again?!> Now don't change the subject here

>>77803508But under Morrison, Xorn wasn't a man with a star for a head that roasted away his brain and became the new vehicle for his thoughts and perceptions.

He was just Magneto playing pretend. He's not an "example of making mutants done right" as you seem to be implying because he's not even a new mutant. Just Magneto.

The only way you can consider him a new mutant is when you take the post-Morrison retcons into account, and those retcons were all shit.

Don't get me wrong, I like Xorn, but he's hardly the peak of new mutants. The only depiction of him that either wasn't invalidated by the Magneto twist or ruined by the Austen retcons was Ultimate Xorn/Zorn from Hickman's work and there he was an Eternal/Deviant, not a mutant.

>>77803997Basically:>Morrison makes the big twist of his run that Magneto was Xorn all along, resulting in Mags going full genocide mode and getting his head cut off by Wolverine>Marvel wanted to Magneto back and also didn't want him dragged down by him going full genocide since they wanted to use him as an anti-hero>Marvel gets the next writer to change it to Xorn pretending to be Magneto pretending to be Xorn so that the blame is shifted on Xorn>Fans loved Xorn and wanted him brought back too and didn't like the retcon since it made Xorn look like a piece of shit>Austen then re-retcons the retcon to reveal that Xorn had a twin brother also named Xorn and it was the twin brother that was pretending to be Magneto so that they can have both good guy Xorn and anti-hero Magneto while having good guy Xorn's twin brother Xorn get the blame for what Xorn/Magneto did at the end of Morrison's runThen the retcons had gotten so absurd at that point that they just killed off good guy Xorn as well to sweep the whole mess under the rug.

>>77804179>Morrison makes the big twist of his run that Magneto was Xorn all along, resulting in Mags going full genocide mode and getting his head cut off by Wolverine

See, this? THIS is what makes me hate Morrison. Not his hypercrisis bullshit. Not the fact that basically all his stories boil down to "comics are great because comics". It's because the struggle between good and evil is always turned up to eleven. You'll have the protagonist's personal struggles having real meaning, but the antagonists are so fucking ultraviolent and "I AM PURE UNADULTERATED EVIL" that Ennis and Millar couldn't touch the edginess of that villain.

>>77804179>>77804521The dumbest thing is that in Morrison's run there was already a plot device for when Marvel wanted Magneto back. Sublime, that's what made Magneto go crazy. He wasn't going full Silver Age, he was mind controlled by a sentient bacteria that he had unknowingly been ingesting in the form of the drug Kick. I can fathom why that was over looked and the whole Xorn shit was written

>>77803705>But under Morrison, Xorn wasn't a man with a star for a head that roasted away his brain and became the new vehicle for his thoughts and perceptions.Doesn't matter, there was still that CONCEPT of a man with a star for a head and that was fucking metal.

Now the new mutants are gold balls. No more cool metal as fuck concepts.

the perfect fix for this situation is that Magneto was Xorn, Magneto was killed by Wolverine, and the modern Magneto is a creation of Scarlet Witch like her former kids because she was crazy at that time and her fathers death gave her a mental breakdown.Perhaps she even created his unconsciously.

This would also explain Magneto not being her father, she would be the creator of Magneto. Th Magneto who was her father is death.
